Ishagu Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Hi, I'm wondering if any of you have experience with Gold Spray? I'm looking for one that looks similar to Balthasar Gold.... I'm thinking of starting a Minotaurs army, and painting a bunch of tanks gold by hand isn't something I really want to do... If not one that resembles Balthasar Gold, a recommendation for a high quality, smooth Gold would also be appreciated :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300985-can-anyone-recommend-a-gold-spray-that-looks-similar-to/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedes Nex Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Unfortunately Army Painter only offers silver for metallic primers. Balthasar Gold is more of a bronze than a gold, so if you want a more brown looking Minotaurs army, you should look for a bronze acrylic spraypaint from a reputable brand, like Halfords, Humbrol, Dupli-Color, Rustoleum, Krylon, etc. Make sure it's an acrylic primer and make sure you shake, warm, and spray it properly in low humidity since every brand's can behaves differently and you don't want to ruin your models by spraying wrong.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The problem with using a metallic spray color(or any color at all, for that matter) and not having the same color in a bottle is that if you make some kind of mistake after you spray the mini, you don't have a matching color to do touch ups. You could always try to decant some of the paint from the can into a receptacle of some kind, but that's kind of a nightmare to do.

Ishagu Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Ugh... Lol it sounds like such a long endeavour. I can't imagine finding time to paint 3 Gold Sicarans, a Landraider, 2 Rhinos and two Stormtalons....

Kilofix Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Consider a cheap single action airbrush? The Paache-H sprays GW B.Gold just fine. I use it all the time.

Ishagu Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 I've never used an airbrush and I'm rather nervous to try one... Can it use the gw paints without diluting them? I wouldn't have a clue where to start...

Kaedes Nex Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 No, you definitely need to thin the Citadel paints by a lot.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 There is tons of information out there on the internet about airbrushes and thinning paints for their use.

Kilofix Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I mix equal parts GW Gold and Windex and it goes through just fine.
